Not bad for 2 days. Felt pretty linear rather than metroid-vania-y, but pretty hard to invoke the feeling of openness with such a limited play space. Fighting against the ranged enemies felt pretty unfair. Would be cool if you could reflect their projectiles with your sword ganondorf style. As always, love the art style and general vibe of the game.

You're too kind. I'm just happy you're enjoying the games. I do have a YouTube channel actually. I posted 2 tutorial videos about multiplayer games which you can watch here if you're interested.

I also have some unlisted YouTube videos where I review other itch.io games like 

and

But honestly I find editing videos to be tedious, so I don't particularly like making videos.

If you're taking a look through my old games, may I recommend Toy Quest and PROJECT LAZ? They're probably the two I'm most proud of.

Again, thank you for all the kind comments. They really make my day.

Thanks again! I don't plan on updating, but I agree that an interact prompt would help a lot.

I think after people download a game, there are some suggestions for other games to try. Since we both participated in the Pass the Game jam, it probably is recommending your games at random.

If you're seeing hits from vykri.com specifically, people are finding your game from https://vykri.com/pass-the-game-2023/  which I made to visualize the jam.

Thanks! I was never sure if adding so many gameplay mechanics to a horror game was a good idea or not, but it seems some people really enjoyed it.

I started working on Higan. Made it so you can't move the mirror whenever you want, but instead need to walk through Torii gates to fit with the Japanese theme. It reduced the overwhelming complexity of the mechanic on the player so I think it's a good direction to go, but unfortunately life got in the way I likely won't be able to have meaningful changes complete by the deadline of this jam. Might still continue working on it after, but as for this jam, unfortunately, looks like I won't be able to submit.

You're going to work on a bunch of different games? I was just planning on working on 1.

I also just updated the box in the top right corner of https://vykri.com/pass-the-game-2023/ to link to the jam. Hope that helps as well.

I made a post in the #game-jams topic of the BlackthornProd discord to share it a bit.

I love the banner image you've made! Hope this gets some traction, there were a lot of cool ideas that got left behind during the official jam.

It's more than okay. Hope it helps people in your jam as well!

There was a game made in Game Maker that made it to day 5 before dying. Sucks for the Game Maker community.

RIP my day 1 world mirroring mechanic

Thanks! Ironically I mostly worked on this during the jam instead of the jam itself haha

Thanks! Glad people are getting some use out of it.

Updated for day 6

Used Cheerio to scrape the descriptions for links to previous day's games an used Cytoscape to display the graphs.

If it makes you feel any better, I'm pretty sure this guy did the same thing, but didn't mention it in his description https://joltl.itch.io/whack-a-keyboard

Did you also upload a whack-a-keyboard entry to day 3, delete it, then upload a new entry for day 6? I'm getting some weird behavior on my visualizer for this page and I'm not sure if it's an issue on my side or not. https://vykri.com/pass-the-game-2023/

Fixed now. Deleted the entry for the day 4 submission.

Fixed now.

Ah, thanks for the callout, I'll fix it in a sec.

Did you also upload a rural blackout entry to day 4, delete it, then upload a new entry for day 6? I'm getting some weird behavior on my visualizer for this page and I'm not sure if it's an issue on my side or not. https://vykri.com/pass-the-game-2023/

EDIT: Nevermind, just read your disclaimer in your description.

Added entries for day 6! Take a look https://vykri.com/pass-the-game-2023/

Oh cool! I also made a graph of the entries. You can find it here: https://vykri.com/pass-the-game-2023/

I added the ability to filter based on engine to my visualizer. You can now see a visualization of how the various engine games have done over the course of the jam. Check it out here: https://vykri.com/pass-the-game-2023/

Working on filtering via game engine. Here's all the game maker entries

Yup. Used cheerio to get all the <a> tags from the description and checked if any of the hrefs were links to a game from the previous day. Checked for both jam links and game links. There were a few people per day that did this incorrectly, so I had to manually do some of them when the scraper couldn't figure it out.

Updated for day 5

When you get a moment, could you please include links to the previous days in your description?

When you get a moment, could you please add the link to day 4 in your description?

I made an interactive site for visualizing the progression of the jam. Check it out here https://vykri.com/pass-the-game-2023/

Your links to day 1 and day 2 are the same. Could you please update your day 2 link?

Dude, your changes look so sick. Downloading now to check it out! Thanks for keeping it alive for day 3!

Thank you so much for keeping it alive for day 2! Love the aesthetic you've gone for. It looks really nice and I'm glad to hear you had fun experimenting with the mechanic.

Lol, did you happen to use coolors.co to choose your color palette? Pretty sure I used the exact same one on a game I made a while back. https://vykri.itch.io/project-laz
